CM-Lean ​Renewal Requirements

CM-Lean ​Renewal Requirements

As outlined in the CM-Lean Candidate Guide, the CM-Lean credential is valid for three (3) years. The CM-Lean was designed to denote knowledge and understanding of concepts related to Lean Construction adoption, practice and process transformation outlined in AGC’s Lean Construction Education Program. Because Lean Construction concepts are always evolving, individuals need to keep current with these advancements and continue their learning through continuing education.

If a CM-Lean holder fails to renew their credential before their renewal date they will be placed in a probationary period for six (6) months. After the six (6) month probationary period and up to one (1) year past their renewal date, a CM-Lean holder must pay an increased renewal fee of $250.00 USD and submit their continuing education credit to renew their credential.

Those who fail to submit their continuing education credit and renewal payment after one (1) year past their renewal date lose the right to use the CM-Lean designation in all its forms. If an individual seeks to regain their CM-Lean status after one (1) year, they may only do so after retaking and passing the most recent version of the CM-Lean exam at their own expense. If the most recent version of the CM-Lean exam differs from the exam the individual originally took to earn the credential, it may be necessary for that individual to retake the Lean Construction Education Program (LCEP) courses, although it is not a requirement.
